What does R.N.D.S in a car mean?
1 Answers
R.N.D.S in a car refers to the gear positions of an automatic transmission vehicle. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. N gear: N gear is commonly known as neutral in manual transmission vehicles. In automatic transmission cars, it can be used during brief stops, such as waiting at a red light. 2. R gear: R gear is the reverse gear, used when backing up. Most drivers are aware of this. It's important to note that the car must be completely stopped, and the brake pedal must be pressed before shifting into R gear. 3. S gear: In sport mode (S gear), the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for a longer period. This allows the car to maintain higher RPMs at lower gears for extended periods, resulting in greater torque. 4. D gear: D gear is the drive gear, used to move the car forward by shifting into D gear and pressing the accelerator. Many modern transmissions are manual-automatic hybrids. After shifting into D gear, pushing the gear lever to the right activates the manual shifting mode, allowing the driver to manually control the forward acceleration gears.
